Zubereitung von Guardians Famous Donuts
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large egg yolks until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes. Avoid overworking the dough.
- Roll out the dough to 3/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil or shortening to 370°F (188°C) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer. Maintain at least 1 ½ inches of oil in the pot.
- Test the oil temperature: a small piece of dough should brown in about 1 minute.
- Use a 2 ½-inch or 3-inch floured donut cutter to cut out the donuts.
- Carefully fry the donuts in the hot oil, turning frequently with a slotted spoon or tongs, until golden brown (about 1 ½ minutes total cooking time).
- Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Once cooled, roll the donuts in your favorite topping (white sugar, powdered sugar, cocoa powder) or drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze. Enjoy!
- Makes approximately 2 dozen donuts.
